In short this representative said that the NFL was in no rush to move
to HDTV, primarily because they were concerned that it could result

Per the current NFL/broadcast contract numbers below, I suggest that the NFL
is fairly compensated to lose stadium customers, assuming that such an
erosion has/does actually occur.
2006 - 2011
NBC $360 bil
Fox $427
CBS $373
ESPN $880
06-2011 total: $2,040 billion
98-2005 total: $1760 "
They want it both ways!
More TV money and more, more, more opportunities to soak their
wealthy supporters for those fancy boxes and crummy end zone seats.
The networks lose money on their NFL deals, but they make it up in
terms of promoting everything else.

Craig
